ABOUT HEALTH

A new wave in health care

Over the past couple of decades, professionals and patients alike have welcomed a wealth of changes and improvements in health care. In the scientific world, there has been excitement over numerous innovative breakthroughs, with research highlighting the efficacy of various new treatments. Some of these harness the most modern state of the art techniques, while others draw on natural resources and mechanisms as old as time. Many of the most successful examples are a combination of both ancient and modern ideas, which is clearly more appealing to the general public.
There is great curiosity about what science can offer, although there is also scepticism about the possible side effects and problems that new drugs and treatments may bring. More than ever, people wish to further their understanding of the knowledge and wisdom used by their ancestors and are desirous of health treatments in which they can trust. People have more questions than ever before, such as “Is it safe?” and “Are there any side effects?”. They want to appreciate and understand all available options and have more control over their personal health and the health of their loved ones.
As medical experts and others rely more and more on a holistic approach to preventive health care and treatments, BIOPTRON Light Therapy is found to be a welcome new addition to this field. Hippocrates’ healing philosophy has begun to re-influence the medical fields:
”First, do no harm“ and ”Honour the healing power of nature“.

A breakthrough in medicine: BIOPTRON Light Therapy System
The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a powerful light therapy technology demonstrating a remarkable degree of visionary commitment. In the early 1980s, a team of scientists discovered the signifi cance of polarized polychromatic light. Based on this research, the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System was created. Since 1988, BIOPTRON AG has invested in further sophisticated research and new product developments necessary to achieve optimal clinical effectiveness in light therapy treatments.
Consequently, the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System draws on more than 20 years of experience and is used by physicians and nurses in hospitals and by families and individual users at home, all benefi ting from the positive eff ects on the human body.
The patented technology of the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System can enable clinical success with consistently remarkable results in the prevention and treatment of various medical disorders. High-quality technology and innovative design without complexity in use and with no known adverse eff ects. BIOPTRON Light is a supportive tool for both clinical and home environments.

Ancient light therapy
sunlight - the source of all life

The use of light therapy in medicine has a long history. The first light source used in photo medicine was natural sunlight. Even in ancient Egypt sunlight was used for medical treatments. Later, Hippocrates described the use of sunlight to cure various medical disorders. Although sunlight therapy had no scientific explanation at that time, the healing power of it was clear, and Roman and Arab physicians introduced light therapy into general medical use.
Today it is known that the human organism transforms light into electrochemical energy, which activates a chain of biochemical reactions within cells, which are not only limited to the treated skin area but can involve the whole body.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

The Invention

The Danish physician Niels Ryberg Finsen founded modern light therapy about 100 years ago. In 1903 he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in medicine for his achievements with light therapy. Finsen created the first device to generate technically synthesized sunlight and achieved outstanding results in the treatment of patients suffering from a special type of skin tuberculosis.

Development of BIOPTRON Light Therapy

At the beginning of the development of photo medicine mostly infrared and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum were used in modern light therapy. In the early 1980s, a research team of scientists created a light source that was originally based on low-level laser therapy but actually worked with almost the whole range of visible light and a portion of infrared light. The research revealed certain physical characteristics that are essential for the effectiveness of light therapy. Based on this technology later the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System was created. BIOPTRON AG is working continuously with experts, researchers and physicians in many countries in order to examine the characteristics and therapeutic effectiveness of BIOPTRON Light Therapy.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

What is BIOPTRON Light?

The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a worldwide patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light that is similar to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum produced naturally by the sun but with no UV radiation.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy can act in a natural way by supporting the regenerative and rebalancing capacities of the body and therefore help the body release its own healing potential. Once delivered to the tissues, the light energy promotes the process of biostimulation (which means that it stimulates diverse biological processes in organisms in a positive manner and thereby enhances body functions).

User-friendly and non-pharmaceutical therapy BIOPTRON technology became widely used and accepted in medicine as a user-friendly, effective, non-pharmacological medical device. In over 15 years of clinical research worldwide, it has been shown to be supportive in conservative management of acute and chronic injuries as well as in post-operative wounds. Hippocrates’ healing philosophy has begun to re-influence the medical fields: "Primum non nocere" ("First, do no harm") and "Vis Medicatrix Naturae" ("Honour the healing power of nature"). BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is approved as a medical device according to the Directive 93/42/EEC.

POLARIZATION
BIOPTRON Light is polarized light: its waves move (oscillate) in parallel planes. The light emitted
by the BIOPTRON devices reaches a polarization degree of 95%

Glass

up to more than 95% polarization of the emitted spectrum

Polarization by reflection

POLYCHROMY
BIOPTRON Light is a polychromatic light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like
laser light) but a wide range, including visible light and a portion of the infrared range. The
wavelength of BIOPTRON Light ranges from 480 nm to 3,400 nm.
The BIOPTRON electromagnetic spectrum does not contain UV radiation!

INCOHERENCY
Unlike laser light, BIOPTRON Light is incoherent, or out-of phase light. This means that the light
waves are not synchronized.

Coherent or in-phase light

LOW ENERGY
BIOPTRON Light has a low energy density. This energy density has biostimulative effects and
allows the light to stimulate various biological processes in the body in a positive way.

BIOSTIMULATIVE EFFECTS
BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects: when applied to the skin it stimulates light-sensitive
intracellular structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain reactions and triggers so-called
secondary responses, which are not only limited to the treated skin area, but can involve the whole body.

STIMULATES AND MODULATES
BIOPTRON Light Therapy stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as
well as the processes of the human defence-system.

ACTS IN A NATURAL WAY
BIOPTRON Light Therapy acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity of the
body and therefore helps the body to release its own healing potential.
The use of BIOPTRON Light as a therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of applications
since its development more than 15 years ago.

BIOPTRON for SAD

Seasonal Affective Disorders (‘Winter Depression’)

The long nights and dull days of winter can cause some people to experience feelings of low mood; this is called Seasonal Affective Disorder – SAD or ‘Winter Depression’. SAD is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the production of a ‘sleep hormone’-melatonin. The increased light levels can cause the reduction of ‘sleep hormone’ production and, thus, reduce the related symptoms.
Light therapy is standard treatment of seasonal affective disorder and related symptoms

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Lowered motivation

Increased need for sleep

BIOPTRON Light Therapy is providing the effective light spectrum, with no UV radiation with min. of 10'000 lux which is beneficial for the SAD treatment.

BIOPTRON for pediatric indications

BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used in children as a complementary therapy to reduce pain and promote healing in various types of conditions, such as:

Pediatric dermal lesions

Allergic respiratory diseases

Upper respiratory tract infections

Musculoskeletal and neurological disorders and deficits

Skin diseases are common in children; up to 15% of children suffer from allergic eczema and skin infections (caused by viruses and bacteria) occur frequently. Skin diseases can be distressing for children (and their parents) because of skin soreness, constant itching, loss of sleep and embarrassment about the appearance of skin lesions on the face or hands.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy provides a child-friendly treatment that can help to promote skin healing and reduce the discomfort associated with skin disorders.

Younger children are prone to viral infections of upper airways (i.e. nose and throat), having the frequent episodes of the illness per year what can result in a significant loss of days in the school.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy can help to treat these conditions by stimulating the immune system and promote healing response.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy is clinically proven and has been used to promote wound healing and to relieve pain and inflammation

BIOPTRON Light Lherapy can be used to treat newborn babies for the condition of dermal affections as phlebitis, decubitis and intertrigo. Very often for the condition of skin rush – nappy ruches by reliving pain and inflammation.
